The Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Derived Exosomes on Metabolic Reprogramming in Scar Formation and Wound Healing.

Pathological scarring results from aberrant cutaneous wound healing due to the overactivation of biological behaviors of human skin fibroblasts, characterized by local inordinate inflammation, excessive extracellular matrix and collagen deposition. Yet, its underlying pathogenesis opinions vary, which could be caused by increased local mechanical tension, enhanced and continuous inflammation, gene mutation, as well as cellular metabolic disorder, etc. Metabolic reprogramming is the process by which the metabolic pattern of cells undergoes a systematic adjustment and transformation to adapt to the changes of the external environment and meet the needs of their growth and differentiation.

Exosome Derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviates Hypertrophic Scar by Inhibiting the Fibroblasts via TNFSF-13/HSPG2 Signaling Pathway.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-exo) have been shown to have significant potential in wound healing and scar relief processes. According to reports, TNFSF13 and HSPG2 are associated with various fibrotic diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate how TNFSF13 and HSPG2 affect the formation of hypertrophic scar (HS) and the mechanism by which exosomes regulate HS.

Advances in Immunomodulatory Mechanisms of Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Derived Exosome on Immune Cells in Scar Formation.

Pathological scars are the result of over-repair and excessive tissue proliferation of the skin injury. It may cause serious dysfunction, resulting in psychological and physiological burdens on the patients. Currently, mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) displayed a promising therapeutic effect on wound repair and scar attenuation.

Fournier's Gangrene with Growth of Actinomyces europaeus: A Case Report.

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rare infectious disease with rapid disease progression and a high mortality rate. We report a case of a 61-year-old female with type 2 diabetes who developed FG caused by Actinomyces europaeus. A.

Exosome Derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviates Pathological Scars by Inhibiting the Proliferation, Migration and Protein Expression of Fibroblasts via Delivering miR-138-5p to Target SIRT1.

Introduction: The therapies of using exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-Exo) for wound healing and scar attenuation and micro RNAs (miRNAs) for regulation of genes by translational inhibition and mRNA destabilization obtained great achievements. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) is the silent information, which has an intricate role in many biological processes. However, the effects of SIRT1 and miR-138-5p loaded in MSC-Exo on pathological scars remain unclear.

Assessment risk of osteoporosis in Chinese people: relationship among body mass index, serum lipid profiles, blood glucose, and bone mineral density.

Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship among age, sex, body mass index (BMI), serum lipid profiles, blood glucose (BG), and bone mineral density (BMD), making an assessment of the risk of osteoporosis.

Materials And Methods: A total of 1,035 male and 3,953 female healthy volunteers (aged 41-95 years) were recruited by an open invitation. The basic information, including age, sex, height, weight, waistline, hipline, menstrual cycle, and medical history, were collected by a questionnaire survey and physical examination.

Human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells acquire immunostimulatory capacity upon cross-talk with natural killer cells and might improve the NK cell function of immunocompromised patients.

Background: The suppressive effect of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) on diverse immune cells is well known, but it is unclear whether MSCs additionally possess immunostimulatory properties. We investigated the impact of human MSCs on the responsiveness of primary natural killer (NK) cells in terms of cytokine secretion.

Methods: Human MSCs were generated from bone marrow and nasal mucosa.

Evaluation of serum lipid profile, body mass index, and waistline in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: People with type 2 diabetes are at an increased risk of hypertension, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. Glucose intolerance (insulin resistance) is the main feature of type 2 diabetes. Obesity leads to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, etc.
